#that they used the covid excuse (the game industry took like a month to adapt tops)
Text
still a hardcore believer in the "totk was absolute development hell" theory btw, even if I know it will never be confirmed or denied, but all the signs are there honestly
#thoughts#totk#totk critical#when will my brain return from the imprisoning war...#the fact that it does not take 6 years to make a game like this#that they used the covid excuse (the game industry took like a month to adapt tops)#that the game was postponed eight billion times#that there are very clear signs that there was a pretty brutal rewrite at some point#that no writers/quest designers are credited??? as far I can tell????#and also and that's... kind of impossible to prove or to pinpoint or rationally explain#but this game feels like burnout to me#it tastes like hollowed gamedev soul who switched off their enthusiasm and went “content mode” just to push through the finish line#OH YES also the lack of dlc#I have a hard time believing they have nothing they could potentially add if they wanted to --and maybe they just don't want to#it just... feels like exhaustion packaged around a genuinely brilliant feature#hoping its brightness would camouflage the thinness of everything else#again perhaps I'm projecting but the game *feels* deeply familiar to me in that way
